New Group Chooses Orange. President For Coming Session
In response to a growing deslie and need the Men of Longwood College recently organized a social fraternity, Tau Theta Pi, the flnt social organization proposed by the men on the campus. An invitation was issued to all men presently enrolled at the college to join the new organization. The purpose of the new organization is to establish between its members a brotherhood, and to promote better relations between its members and the faculty, administration, and student body. Orange President In an election held recently Ned Orange was elected President; Shep Elmore, Vice-President; Jimmy Clark, Secretary; and Berman Scott, Treasurer. It was decided at the time not to fill the remaining offices and committees until next fall when the organization has had time to outline its activities and determine its needs. Throughout the year numerous students have called upon the Men's Student Government to organize a social club. A committee was appointed, headed by Jimmy Thompson, to Investigate the feasibility of such a club and determine student opinion on the subject. The response to the idea was overwhelming and meetings were immediately called to lay the ground work for the new fraternity. The name Tau Theta PI was decided upon and a constitution was drawn up and ratified. At the time of ratification an election of officers was held and the fraternity officially activated. Future Plans Next fall Tau Theta PI will participate in all appropriate activities on the campus and have a program extensive enough to interest all male students. It hopes to beContinued on pave 3
Men Give Platforms In Election Campaign Smallwood Backs Co-ed Cooperation by Lester Smallwood My platform is as follows: "Intensive Specific Improvements With Continued Cooperation With The Administration And Women Student Organisations." (1) To set in the constitution laws that will produce an Honor Council of 5 men. including the president and vice president of the student government, and 3 appointed members ratified by the student body. The Council will organize a graduated system of penalties subject to the approval if the student body, and will have the power to Inflict penalties on all student violators. Pour of the 5 Councllmen's verdict of "guilty" to an expulsion charge will necessiate expulsion. All cases may be appealed to a faculty commission of more than one. (2) Cooperation between the men's Alumni Association and tho Student Government Association in seeing that the co-educational bill does not become a dead issue in the next tell-telllng year. <S) To change in the constitution the deadline of the final student government elections. It should read "to be held In the month of April." <41 The appointment of functional committees or otherwise a complete and Immediate re-orContinued on page 4
Thompson Favors Protective Rights
Vaughan Will Use Existing Facilities
by Jimmy Thompson We enjoy many rights and privileges which must not be taken for granted, but should be protected. I believe whole-heartedly that we should avoid additional regulations unless they are deemed necessary. Last winter, the State legislature failed to recognize Madison and Longwood as co-educational which was a blow to the men at Longwood. However, the issue Is not dead yet. and with an organized program, the Men's Student Government can play a large factor in establishing a sound co-educatlonal program at Longwood College. There has been a lack of Interest in the Men's Student Government this year due to the fact that the majority of the men's student body didn't know what was going on. If die membeis were kept posted on the activities of the organization through carefully prepared reports and meetings (scheduled In advance), th" Interest in the Student Government would develop to the fullest degree possible. If I am elected. I shall strive to carry out the duties of the office to the best of my ability and work to build a bigger and better Men's Student Government. Continued on Page 4
by Frank Vaughan The male students attending this fine institution have cooperated at every opportunity with a spirit and heartiness that many people throughout the country today are losing or have lost. What this country needs Isn't bringing back the five cent cigar; instead it needs societies which can and are willing to make use of what they have on hand. Similarly, since any College Is a step toward these societies, it must follow that we students should make use of every opportunity to learn to think it. terms of. and in accordance with, the means of the day. Where there is no opportunity, we should create one. When you men turn out to vote on Thursday and Friday, May 18th and 19th, it is imperative that you put Into office those men who cen get things done with the use of existing facilities. The platform offered by the Popular party consists of a six point program that has been made known to all. We know there isn't a point listed upon which we can't exert positive Influence. But this program has been set up with student cooperation as Its foundation. If you want to see the Popular party In office, vote acContinued on page 3

The Situation Stands . .
Letters To Editor
The Rotunda this week presents a letter to the editors and to the student body from (hi. The letter speaks for itself as did the editorial which it answers. Lack of time and space prevent further quibbling over the editorial uordinf; such is merely superllous. The facts are these:
1. Chi has been challenged to prove it has a reason for existence. Chi retaliates with questioning the Rotunda's right to question Chi's right to existence and insists that as a secret organization its purposes must remain secret. The Rotunda and the rest of the student body must rely on their own Imaginations, or lack of them, to provide Chi '■■'ith a legitimate excuse for being. 2. Chi has been questioned as to its-accomplishments. Chi replies that no trumpets shall hail their doings. Chi's accomplishments are to remain unknown to the Rotunda and the rest of the student body. 3. The place on modern college campuses ol" secret societies with no acknowledged purpose has been questioned. Chi replies thai they do exist on many modern college campuses. The Rotunda and the
rest of the student body are to assume that this is justification enough. 4. Chi has informed thp Rotunda, and through it the remainder of the student body, that it knows littl" about Chi. According to Chi they will remain uninformed. 5. Chi has accused the Rotunda of creating detrimental attitudes among the student body. The Rotunda's ability to "create" attitudes is indeed questionable. 6. Chi has stated that it is cooperating with the administration and that were its cause unworthy it would, have been deactivated. The worthiness of Chi's purpose was not questioned; the existence of a purpose was. The statement that it has not been disbanded for unworthy accomplishments or aims is negative and has little bearing on the original question. The situation remains clouded rathei than cleared. We have taken our stand on the question; we feel that student opinion is behind us. But until this opinion or an opposing one is publicly expressed the matter is closed.
You Name It Name a building ' The student! Ol Long* wood have been invited to put on their thinking caps and suggest names for buildings of the College that have not been named. And after the names that have been suggested by students, faculty, and alumnae are put together, the students are asked to participate by voting for the name they prefer. Two of the names recently selected for College buildings were those of two of our former presidents. The main part of freshman dormitory was named for William Henry Rull'ner, the founder and first president of the College. The new auditoriummusic building now being erected will be named .larman Auditorium. Dr. Joseph Leonard Jarman was the fourth president of our College. The new science building has been named Edith Stevens Science Hall for a former member of the biology department. While here, Dr. Stevens worked untiringly as a member of the committee for drawing up the plans for the new science building. Sophomore dormitory being erected as an addition to Annex, and the west wing dorm now known as Library Hall, have not yet been named. Names have been suggested by facult] members and alumnae. Those re< ceiving the largest number of votes were: Alary White Cox Hall for sophomore dorm, and Jennie .Masters Tabb Hall for Library Hall. Mrs. Cox was head of the home department for many years, serving her girls faithfully. The old White House was named for her, The name of Portlh Let Morrison Hall has also been Suggested for the sophomore dorm. Since many students ha\e had no chance to know the teachers and administrators of the Collage, they must consider seriously the bases for selecting i name for our buildings, When | college building is named, it should be for life; therefore, the name should b.' meaningful to both the alumnae and the students of the college. It has been the tradition of this college, as well as many others, that dorms and office buildings be named for deceased members of the faculty or administration. This is no hard and fast rule that must be followed; it is simple a tribute to those who have served the College. Although the majority of the College buildings have been named for

BIRD'S EYE VIEW by jacky eagle
Longwooders are finding it hard this week to settle back down on the roost after last weekend's merrymaking. It's a sad flock around here since the take-off of the convey of staunch old Bird Clubbers who flew in for the May Day festivities. Rumor has it that even Mary Margaret, incognito of course, showed up for the pagoant, but ex-veep Kimbrough refused to get shook about it and made all the members of her organization proud of their representation on May Court. In the course of our weekly reconnaissance flight we bumped up against Trygve Die, UN Secretary-General, in Geneva. "How're you fixed for accommodations from the Red-birds?" he chirped, going on to tell us how Thursday they're sending a plane to pick him up to take him to Moscow. Once there he plans to storm Joe Stalin's coop to find out how Comrade's fixed for patching up the crumbling remains of the United Nations. BC officials say Trygve is a wily old bird if he can lure the Reds back into the UN flock. A glance across the Pacific reveals Chiang and the Chinese Nationalists still scratching around for American aid in their last stand against the Communists. The Nationalist fowl are looking pretty forlorn backed up in their Korea corner. Opinion around the local aviary has it that if the US State Department would come out clearly for or against the Nationalists, it would make things easier for Trygve in Moscow. A dispatch from national Bird headquarters says, "Watch Congress for good laughing material!" Taxpayers who fear that their hard-earned cash is going for nought can rest assured that they're getting their dollars1 worth in the entertainment department at least. The farce of the red herring on the Capitol stage gets just too hilarious as ex-Communists grimly accuse others of also being ex-Commies, or at least acting like it, if they weren't bonatide Reds. Oh well, we can always join our friends, the goony birds, on recently evecuated Wake Island, when we're sure that "All the world's queer but thee and me."
To the Editor-, and the Student Body: Is the Rotunda at such a loss for editorials that it has to resort to the criticism of an organization that it knows little about? If the editorial, in the May 3 issue of the Rotunda entitled "Why Chi?", had been based on substantial evidence, and had contained constructive criticism, we would have accepted it and appreciated the interest shown by one who was trying to better our organization, for we realize that no organization is perfect. But this editorial, written in a sarcastic tone, has caused considerable injustice not only to the immediate members of Chi, but also to those in the past, as well as 'o Its advisor, Mr. French, who, ve all know, has the best interest of the College and its students ut heart. You have asked. "What Chi has accomplished...?" You have asked. "What.. .are Chi's objectives;" does it have a "purpose for existence": and "Why cannot this bo made public?" We would like to state that we do have a purpose: we have accomplishments to our credit: but these cannot be mad** public. Let us quote to you a definition of the word "secret": "withdrawal from public view or knowledge; that which is purposively concealed or left untold; not revealed." Chi is a "secret organization" and acts as a secret organization. Therefore, in order to retain this title, it is obvious that our objectives, and the outcome of our objectives must be "concealed or left untold. "It is often times advantageous to go about one's activities quietly without "trumpets". You have questioned our right to existence. We question your right to question "our right to existence." Secret organizations stand on many "modern college campuses" throughout the country, and wo assume that Longwood is a modern college. The actual purposes and objectives of these organizations are seldom questioned or presented openly to the student body. "Is Longwood College to be an exception?" You referred to "walking" and "burning" as our "two outstanding achievements, .during the current session." We regret that you have misinterpreted these as achievements, for as you say. "these two were not very outstanding." We ourselves do not consider these as "achievements." Any group on campus should have as Us aim the betterment of the College. We feel that commending people rather than constantly condemning them can be a great step in this endeavor toward retaining the spirit of our College, if the student body (of which we, as Chi, are members) could emphasize the many pleasant and laudable aspects of our College life rather than those which create an abundance ol Rripes and complaints, the spirit would be the "true Longwood spirit." " 'Chi's burning.. .the cry echoed down the corridors of Longwood College." This echo is pan of a tradition which has existed on this campus for over a quarter of a century. You can't kill SUCh a tradition by a few critical articles in the College paper, creating detrimental attitudes among the student body. Chi is persistent ana will continue to be so. Efforts to destroy it in a drive to improve the "campus already overcrowded with organizations" are futile. We do not exist on campus "as a 'Boogie Man' to scare the student body into obeying the rules and regulations of the College", for after all, we too are students and when we signed the Honor Code, we pledged ourselves to respect and abide by it as every student should. If you have misinterpreted our action as "scare tactics" and if the student body goes into "periodic furors." as the editorial claims, it seems you are insinuating that the student body Is not so adult after all, if "adults seldom respond to scare tactics." In conclusion, Chi is a secret organization with secret purpose? and objectives; therefore, we see no reason to publicize them We are cooperating with the administration and will continue to do so. If our cause were not worthy, authority, better Informed than (Continued on page 3>

Scanning The'Field By LESTER SMALLWOOD TENNIS TEAM DROPS PROPOSED MATCHES Proposed matches with Bridgewater, Roanoke, and HampdenSydney Colleges were tossed aside Friday afternoon by the net squad. The recent and late organisation of the tennis team gives possibilities for only a limited amount of matches for the current season. It is felt by a majority of the team that numerous scheduled events at this late date in the season would critically effect the present and more important activities on the campus, mainly, the Men's Production, which is to be held by the Men's AA this Friday night. The Production is at the present time the only practical means of raising funds for the continuation of men's intercollegiate athletics at Longwood. The tennis team may. however, schedule two more contests with the relatively close Lynchburg College Junior varsity, if satisfactory dates can be arranged between the two schools again. PIONEERS MAY DROP II. S. FROM SPORTS SLATE The Longwood men in the past have scheduled the HampdenSydney College athletic teams in all sports in which the two schools have been able to compete on comparatively equal terms.
